The Suite Life

I was very lucky to obtain 4 tickets in Delta's Suite for the Circus last night.

Nice comfy seats to enjoy the show.
Nachos, pizza, popcorn, cookies, and drinks to enjoy.

We saw people doing crazy things on tightropes.

Tigers

My very cute family

These two were my favorite (non animal show)

These 2 muscle guys were kinda creepy the second time around.

Jackson loved the popcorn.

Anthony loved....

the clowns.

However I would have to say the elephants were my over all favorite.

These large animals can do some pretty amazing things.

Overall it was a good show.. A little long and Anthony really enjoyed it. Best part was not spending a penny to see it.

State Fair

I took the kids and my mom to the State Fair yesterday. I was super excited since I hadn't been in a couple of years.

I let the kids walk on water.

Or at least try. Anthony did make it up a couple times. Unfortunately I did not get the picture to prove it.
Jackson was content floating around in the bubble sitting.

I of course had to have a deep fried cheesecake. Yummy!

They played with Legos.

And Anthony put his head in a Lions mouth.

Then I let the kids ride some rides.

I did accompany Anthony on one. That was all my stomach would allow. I must be getting old.

The rest they were able to enjoy together.

Anthony was not sure how to walk across the moving barrel.

We walked around and seen some of the animals and vendors. They even had a little kids helping farm that was fun for them.

By the end of the day.. Jackson was pooped!

Little Gym

So when Anthony was 2 I took him to Little Gym. It was good for him to get out and learn to play with others. So once Jackson turned 2, I took him for 8 months to Little Gym.

Each class started with a hello song that includes bells.
Then a group activity. This time it was a parachute.
It included getting to ride on the parachute, while the parents pulled them.

He wasn't ever a huge fan of doing flips on the bars.

But just this once he did it!

Then they would play with bubbles (good for hand eye coordination).

Showing off his stamps, for a job well done.

Sometimes the group activity was the air mat.

This day he was actually attempting swinging on the bars.

Learned to do summersaults.

Bear walk across the bars.

More hand eye coordination.

Getting more stamps on both feet, hands, belly and nose.
